Spring of Peirene

The Spring of Peirene was a spring located east of the Temple of Aphrodite at Corinth on the Acrocorinth in Corinthia, Greece. Named for the nymph Peirene, it was said to have been the favorite watering-hole of the winged horse Pegasus, and it was there that Bellerophon captured him. During the 5th century BC, Anthousa's hetaerae used the garden as their base of operations following their expulsion of the Acrocorinth.
